Socialism is great as a concept, basically means putting people before capital. Capitalism is the reverse.
That’s not even slightly true, but human nature makes it end up being that way. We’re real good at coming up with isms incompatible with our nature, so they never work as planned, often with irony too.
As a species we have evolved with certain traits. These traits are the reason we are the top.species. Try as we may, with society, we cannot just blink these traits away,; no living thing can evolve that fast.
So whenever someone comes up with a great idea of how things could be in society, they often ignore our species’ traits of ruthless ambition, persistent survival, tribalistic loyalty, etc. It is like when people get border collies thinking they’ll be great pets, but then realise their true nature and how much work and.effort has to be put into them every day to get.the most.out of them.
Idiots think we’re somehow different and beyond the other animals, but we’re not. How society is today is exactly how we are. If someone wants to change it, they need to factor human nature, else it won’t work.

genuinely what does that even mean? can you try rephrasing that?

Ah yes, the biblical “human nature is flawed so we can’t ever make the world better” argument.
Ignoring the 1000’s of years of humans making the world better.
We used to have child sacrifice and we don’t anymore. We used to have chattel slavery and we don’t anymore.
Our economies can get better and if someone tells you otherwise they are lying to preserve their own power.
